i liked clinton because president clinton was very -- he just was a very good president. --eel like the mess we're in we can all point fingers of course, but you know, i feel like romney hasn't yet sold me on the path he wants to take. i am not going to go by the spin, the 47%. but president obama, he shows strength but he seems like he was a little more reserved than i would have liked him to be. yet i may be leaning more toward president obama because, to me, he seems more just a little more sincere still though. i feel maybe i'm leaning more that way because maybe the mitt romney seems like a fast talker to me. i built like a fast talker. i want answers. even though president obama has more to do on the medicare and all this stuff, i am not getting the answers yet from mitt romney. i don't think the american people should allow themselves to judge by just a debate. you have to look at everything. -mitt romney, his schooling being really good in massachusetts was a plus for me. host: john, we are going to leave it there. susan in pennsylvania. you say it for us. caller:

obama has to go back to the clinton era. it was when the republican congress came in in january of 1995 and past welfare reform and all sorts of new and fantastic criminal law provisions. there was a tax cut slipped in. that was the republican congress driving the bus. host: this is from twitter by aamom. guest: the idea that what people do not know about obama it is racist is a preposterous. where was all this love for blacks and high public positions when clarence thomas was nominated to the supreme court? how about 1 condoleezza rice was the first black female secretary of state'? democrats do not like obama because he is black. they liken it because he is left wing -- they like him because he is left-wing. and his proposal to raise taxes -- they can call them races. that's what democrats like about obama. they couldn't care less he is half black. caller: i have two questions. i wonder if there is a two-tier ed justice system in this country? thousands and thousands of dollars while on the terrorist watch list. muslims ge

clinton worked with republicans. because the other parties had not made a pact to destroy them, immediately after they were sworn in. again, if you want to send us a message to our facebook page, the address there is facebook.com/cspan. next up, harry is on our line for independents from florida. go ahead, harry. caller: i think divided government is better, only for the democratic process. we need people from different views, to be able to come together and work things out. the reason i'm saying a democratic president is because when i was making my choice and i looked back, looking at past presidents and its country, and i kind of feel that, you know, the legacy of the president and democrats work at better than the republicans want, because you can tell what bill clinton is doing around the world, what jimmy carter is doing with habitat for humanity. but i just kept can't remember exactly what he has or any other past republican president i've been doing for people, so i think although i would like to see divided

bill clinton says what he feels, for the most part. he will not come out and say something to your face that he does not believe. he is avoiding that conversation. host: jim from oklahoma. caller: more of a statement than a question. i have a small business have had it for over 50 years. i pay 5% income tax -- tax on income versus 35% back in 3 2008. this president has done nothing to stimulate the economy for the small businessman. we had to reduce our employees. i would love to step up my employees again by cannot do witit. his motivation is stimulating jobs in the government, not in business. it is the business jobs that pay the taxes that allow for the government jobs. host: maria bartiromo? hearinghis is what i'm across the board from business people today. it is the cost of health care. the cost of regulation. it does feel like an ideology to make government bigger and not necessarily do enough for businesses to feel like they want to or can hire new workers. this will be a problem. we have to ask ourselves, what is the priority

here comes another democrat to save our nation, bill clinton. it only took bush and dick cheney one-term to bring about the recession. now we have another democrat to the rescue. why do we keep having these right-wing people in places of power when all we have our own financial disaster after another? host: by the way, mitt romney writes in the wall street journal and opinion. two candidates are preparing for the debate on wednesday in denver. at the same time we are asking about the vp candidates and whether they will impact your votes. vermont on the line, independence, mary. will the candidates impact your vote? caller: absolutely. primarily, we need someone who is ready to go if something should happen to the president. by far, biden exceeds paul ryan in those qualifications. he has done a wonderful job as vice president. truly exceptional in comparison to others. you don't hear about it much, but if you go to alternate media you get a very good idea of how hard this man works and how capable he is. the definitely would be my choice. the oth

but clinton had a good response. it showed that he, perhaps, anticipated the issue and had a great response to it. and then of course, bush came back with perhaps his best response to clinton's position. host: what do the candidates have to do tonight? what does mitt romney have to do? what does barack obama have to do? guest: good question. barack obama, with small lead, he would like to maintain it. he would not like to be depicted as the loser of this debate. and he would like to maintain his presidential school -- cool and perhaps not get flustered. in the case of romney, he needs to score some points. some think he needs to hold his own, to be equal on the stage with obama. others feel that he needs to take down the president in some dramatic fashion. the latter is probably asking too much. at a minimum, a from a need to read -- running mates to appear as an equal on the stage -- from thmitt romney needs to appear izod an equal on the stage. host: eric joins us through skype. caller: -- guest: would you call the

bush and bill clinton. he was pushing 40% in the polls. he could have won the election. he could have entered the white house. people felt that they voted for him and he had that much support, they would not be wasting their votes. he dropped out of the race. he did not have the temperament to deal with all the issues, the reporters, the personalities involved. he dropped out of the race and his poll numbers dropped 7% and when it comes back in in october, he was in the tv debates in ends up with about 20% of the vote. ross perot had a chance to really change politics and change the country back in 1992. for personal reasons, he went back to dallas. it is fine for him to complain about what's going on now but he had a chance to really make a contribution and he dropped out of the race. host: would you comment on the history of voter suppression as it affects third parties as well as the two parties? guest: well, getting on the ballot has been the big problem. that is a form of suppression, i think. then there is the issue of people being afraid if they vote for its third
